CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present patent application claims benefit and priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/081,185 filed on Oct. 27, 2020 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/958,808 filed on Jan. 9, 2020 which is hereby incorporated by reference into the present disclosure.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The embodiments are generally related to sports wagering and artificial intelligence.

BACKGROUND

The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.

When odds are calculated for a wager objective data and statistics are used so that the payout is proportional to the actual chances of the outcome. A problem is that people do not usually place wagers based on objective data, which can result in largely one sided bets that could result in a loss for the house. Another problem is that when demand one side of a wager greatly exceeds the demand expected based on the odds, the house misses out on profit it could have made by offering lower odds. Yet another problem is that errors in the original odds calculation could be exploited by clever users if the odds aren't subsequently adjusted. d

A “bet” or “wager” is to risk something, usually a sum of money, against someone else's or an entity on the basis of the outcome of a future event, such as the results of a game or event. It may be understood that non-monetary items may be the subject of a “bet” or “wager” as well, such as points or anything else that can be quantified for a “bet” or “wager”. A bettor refers to a person who bets or wagers. A bettor may also be referred to as a user, client, or participant throughout the present invention. A “bet” or “wager” could be made for obtaining or risking a coupon or some enhancements to the sporting event, such as better seats, VIP treatment, etc. A “bet” or “wager” can be done for certain amount or for a future time. A “bet” or “wager” can be done for being able to answer a question correctly. A “bet” or “wager” can be done within a certain period of time. A “bet” or “wager” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

A “book” or “sportsbook” refers to a physical establishment that accepts bets on the outcome of sporting events. A “book” or “sportsbook” system enables a human working with a computer to interact, according to set of both implicit and explicit rules, in an electronically powered domain for the purpose of placing bets on the outcome of sporting event. An added game refers to an event not part of the typical menu of wagering offerings, often posted as an accommodation to patrons. A “book” or “sportsbook” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

To “buy points” means a player pays an additional price (more money) to receive a half-point or more in the player's favor on a point spread game. Buying points means you can move a point spread, for example up to two points in your favor. “Buy points” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

The “price” refers to the odds or point spread of an event. To “take the price” means betting the underdog and receiving its advantage in the point spread. “Price” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

“No action” means a wager in which no money is lost or won, and the original bet amount is refunded. “No action” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

The “sides” are the two teams or individuals participating in an event: the underdog and the favorite. The term “favorite” refers to the team considered most likely to win an event or game. The “chalk” refers to a favorite, usually a heavy favorite. Bettors who like to bet big favorites are referred to “chalk eaters” (often a derogatory term). An event or game in which the sports book has reduced its betting limits, usually because of weather or the uncertain status of injured players is referred to as a “circled game.” “Laying the points or price” means betting the favorite by giving up points. The term “dog” or “underdog” refers to the team perceived to be most likely to lose an event or game. A “longshot” also refers to a team perceived to be unlikely to win an event or game. “Sides”, “favorite”, “chalk”, “circled game”, “laying the points price”, “dog” and “underdog” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

The “money line” refers to the odds expressed in terms of money. With money odds, whenever there is a minus (−) the player “lays” or is “laying” that amount to win (for example $100); where there is a plus (+) the player wins that amount for every $100 wagered. A “straight bet” refers to an individual wager on a game or event that will be determined by a point spread or money line. The term “straight-up” means winning the game without any regard to the “point spread”; a “money-line” bet. “Money line”, “straight bet”, “straight-up” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

The “line” refers to the current odds or point spread on a particular event or game. The “point spread” refers to the margin of points in which the favored team must win an event by to “cover the spread.” To “cover” means winning by more than the “point spread”. A handicap of the “point spread” value is given to the favorite team so bettors can choose sides at equal odds. “Cover the spread” means that a favorite win an event with the handicap considered or the underdog wins with additional points. To “push” refers to when the event or game ends with no winner or loser for wagering purposes, a tie for wagering purposes. A “tie” is a wager in which no money is lost or won because the teams' scores were equal to the number of points in the given “point spread”. The “opening line” means the earliest line posted for a particular sporting event or game. The term “pick” or “pick 'em” refers to a game when neither team is favored in an event or game. “Line”, “cover the spread”, “cover”, “tie”, “pick” and “pick-em” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

To “middle” means to win both sides of a game; wagering on the “underdog” at one point spread and the favorite at a different point spread and winning both sides. For example, if the player bets the underdog +4½ and the favorite −3½ and the favorite wins by 4, the player has middled the book and won both bets. “Middle” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

Digital gaming refers to any type of electronic environment that can be controlled or manipulated by a human user for entertainment purposes.

The “total” is the combined number of runs, points or goals scored by both teams during the game, including overtime. The “over” refers to a sports bet in which the player wagers that the combined point total of two teams will be more than a specified total. The “under” refers to bets that the total points scored by two teams will be less than a certain figure. “Total”, “over”, and “under” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

A “parlay” is a single bet that links together two or more wagers; to win the bet, the player must win all the wagers in the “parlay”. If the player loses one wager, the player loses the entire bet. However, if he wins all the wagers in the “parlay”, the player wins a higher payoff than if the player had placed the bets separately. A “round robin” is a series of parlays. A “teaser” is a type of parlay in which the point spread, or total of each individual play is adjusted. The price of moving the point spread (teasing) is lower payoff odds on winning wagers. “Parlay”, “round robin”, “teaser” can be integrated into the embodiments in a variety of manners.

A “prop bet” or “proposition bet” means a bet that focuses on the outcome of events within a given game. Props are often offered on marquee games of great interest.

Although any systems and methods similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of embodiments, only some exemplary systems and methods are now described.

This is a system for an artificial intelligence based live game wager system. This system includes a live event 102, for example a sporting event such as a football game, basketball game, baseball game, hockey game, tennis match, golf tournament, etc. A cloud 104 or communication network which may be a wired and/or a wireless network may also be included. The communication network, if wireless, may be implemented using communication techniques such as Visible Light Communication (VLC), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Infrared (IR) communication, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Radio waves, and other communication techniques known in the art. The communication network may allow ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over Internet and relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, like a public utility, while third-party clouds enable organizations to focus on their core businesses instead of expending resources on computer infrastructure and maintenance. A live event data API 106, or application program interface, for delivering data from the live event to the betting network 122, may also be included. A user device API 108, or application program interface, for delivering data between the betting network and the user device, may also be included. A user device 110 for connecting to the cloud or Internet and running the game app 112, may also be included. A game app 112 that displays the odds for the next action of the live game, allows the user to place a bet, and displays the user's credits, may also be included. A bet GUI 114, or guided user interface, that displays the possible betting options and odds for each betting option, the odds determine the ratio of credits bet to credits returned if the bet was correct. The interface(s) may either accept inputs from users or provide outputs to the users or may perform both the actions. In one case, a user can interact with the interface(s) using one or more user-interactive objects and devices. The user-interactive objects and devices may comprise user input buttons, switches, knobs, levers, keys, trackballs, touchpads, cameras, microphones, motion sensors, heat sensors, inertial sensors, touch sensors, or a combination of the above. Further, the interface(s) may either be implemented as a Command Line Interface (CLI), a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a voice interface, or a web-based user-interface, may also be included. A credits GUI 116, or guided user interface, that display's the user's current amount of credits in the credit database, winning bets may increase the user's amount of credits while losing bets may decrease the user's amount of credits, credits may be tied to a real money value, may also be included. A betting network 118 which provides an Artificial intelligence based software module that finds correlations from the historic bet database 126 in order to determine if the odds for the current wagers in the bet database need to be adjusted, may also be included. A base module 120 which initiates the wager module and then initiates the wager adjustment module and sends an updated bet database to the user device, may also be included. A wager module 122 which uses the situational data from the historic bet database 126 on previous wagers with the same situational data and performs correlations on the similar wagers in order to determine if there is a correlation from the historic data in order to extract and store the most re-occurring data point in order to update the odds in the bet database, may also be included. A wager adjustment module 124 which uses the most re-occurring data points that were extracted via the wager module and stored in the wager adjustment database and compares them to the threshold database in order to determine if the odds in the bet database should be updated based on the wager adjustments in the threshold database, may also be included. A historic bet database 130 which stores all the historic bets previously placed by users, may also be included. A threshold database which is used to determine the appropriate adjustment in the wager odds by using the extracted most re-occurring data points and if one of the two data points exceeds the threshold database then the wager adjustment in the threshold database is used to update the odds in the bet database, may also be included. A bet database which contains the current bets that users can place a wager on, may also be included. A wager adjustment database which stores the most re-occurring data points extracted from the wager module along with the wager ID and wager in order to be compared with the threshold database in the wager adjustment module to determine if the odds in the bet database should be adjusted, may also be included.

Functioning of the base module will now be explained with reference to FIG. 2. One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

This figure displays the base module. The process begins with the base module initiating the wager module, at step 200. Then the base module e initiates the wager adjustment module, at step 202. Once the bet database has been updated, or not, via the wager module and wager adjustment module the base module sends the bet database to the user device, at step 204.

Functioning of the wager module will now be explained with reference to FIG. 3. One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

This figure displays the wager module. The process begins with the wager module looking up the current wager in the bet database, at step 300. Then the wager module finds the situational data for the wager ID, which may be the team, the quarter or time of the event, the down, the distance to gain, etc., at step 302. The historic bet database is filtered on the situational data for the wager ID in order to find all the other previous wagers that have the same situational data, at step 304. The first parameter in the historic bet database, for example the number of wagers placed, at step 306. The wager module then performs correlations for all the other parameter data that has the same situational data and first parameter, at step 308. It is then determined if there was a correlation above a predetermined threshold, for example, 90%, at step 310. If there was a correlation above the predetermined threshold then the most re-occurring data point. For example, in FIG. 9B, the most re-occurring data point for the correlation of number of wagers against the total amount wagered would be 200 wagers and $7,500 wagered. These two data points along with the wager ID from the bet database would be stored in the wager adjustment database, at step 312. Then the extracted data points are stored in the adjustment database, at step 314. If it was determined there was no correlation above the predetermined threshold, then the wager module determines if there are any parameters remaining, at step 316. If there are parameters remaining, the next parameter is selected and the process returns to step 308, at step 318. If it is determined there are no parameters remaining, it is then determined if there are any additional wagers in the bet database. If there are additional wagers, the process returns to step 300, at step 320. If there are no additional wagers the process returns to the base module, at step 322.

Functioning of the wager adjustment module will now be explained with reference to FIG. 4. One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

This figure displays the wager adjustment module. The process begins with the wager adjustment module being initiated by the base module, at step 400. The wager adjustment module compares the wager adjustment database to the threshold database, at step 402. It is determined if there is a match, for example the wager adjustment module has the most re-occurring data point which is 200 wagers and $7,500 wagered which when compared to the threshold results in the odds being decreased by 5%, at step 404. If there is a match then the corresponding wager adjustment from the threshold database, for example a 5% decrease, is extracted, at step 406. The wager ID from the wager adjustment module is also extracted in order to assist in adjusting the odds in the bet database, at step 408. The extracted wager ID is matched with the corresponding wager ID in the bet database, at step 410. The odds in the bet database are adjusted by the extracted wager adjustment, for example the 5% decrease from the threshold database. If the odds in the bet database are -105 and the wager adjustment is a 5% decrease then the odds in the bet database are adjusted and the new odds are −110, at step 412. If there is no match from the wager adjustment database to the threshold database then the process returns to the base module, at step 414.

Functioning of the historic bet database will now be explained with reference to FIG. 5. One skilled in the art will appreciate that, for this and other processes and methods disclosed herein, the functions performed in the processes and methods may be implemented in differing order. Furthermore, the outlined steps and operations are only provided as examples, and some of the steps and operations may be optional, combined into fewer steps and operations, or expanded into additional steps and operations without detracting from the essence of the disclosed embodiments.

This figure displays the historic bet database which contains all the wager data from previously placed wagers by users. The database may contain situational data such as the wager ID, the team the wager was for, the quarter or time period of the game or event, the down, the distance to gain, and what the wager was for. The historic bet database also contains parameter data for each of the wagers such as the number of wagers which is the number of individual wagers placed by users on the wager, the total amount wagered on the bet, the total amount paid out to the users from the wager, the total amount retained by the network, the profit and/or loss from the wager from the standpoint of the betting network, and the location of the wager which is where the individual user was located when the placed the wager. The database as currently shown is filtered for the situational data and the parameter of the location in order to determine if there is any correlations between the parameter data while filtered on the location parameter to see if odds should be adjusted for users within the Boston area when placing a wager on the New England Patriots. In some embodiments, the situational data may be user specific bet history or bets previous made by a specific user or group of users. In some embodiments, the situational data may be bet data collected from various sportsbooks by region, nation, or a combination of specific regions or nations. In some embodiments, the situational data may be a collection of wager odds from third parties, for example casinos, sportsbooks, sports apps or websites, etc. In some embodiments, the situational data may be collected from an odds marketplace which is a collection of various wager odds from third parties. In some embodiments, the situational data may be filtered on user preferences, for example certain sportsbooks the user uses or specific regions of the country or specific nations that may provide different wager odds, element 500.

This figure displays an example of the wager module and the resulting correlations. FIG. 9A: In this example the data that is filtered by the situational data and finding the various correlations with the number of wagers and the various parameters such as the profit and/or loss for a pass wager, for a run wager, etc. An example of non-correlated parameters with the situational data and the number of wagers and the profit and/or loss of the wager with a 15% (which is below the 90% threshold), therefore there is no correlation and no data should be extracted from the historic bet database and stored in the wager adjustment database. FIG. 9B displays an example of the correlations run in the wager module. In this example the data that is filtered by the situational data from the bet database and finding the various correlations with the number of wagers and the various patient parameters such as the total amount wagered for pass wager, the total amount wagered for run wager, etc. The highest correlated parameter with the number of wagers is the total amount wagered for a pass wager with a 95% (which is above the 90% threshold). Then the most re-occurring data point which is 200 wagers and $7,500 total amount wagered is extracted and stored in the wager adjustment database along with the wager ID from the bet database and this is compared to the threshold database which determines if any of these two data points are above a predetermined threshold to adjust the odds in the bet database, element 900.
